WILLMAR — The Ridgewater women’s basketball team couldn’t hang with MCAC South Division leader Minnesota West with poor shooting from the field.

The Warriors shot just 27 percent and fell to the Bluejays 72-51 on Wednesday at the Ridgewater College gym.

“You can’t shoot 27 percent against a team like that,” said Warriors head coach Carrie Ogdahl. “Defensively, I think we did a really nice job. We got the lead down to 12 in the second half but if we would have made the game a little closer in the first half it could have made it a different game.”

The Warriors fell to 1-1 in the South and 8-5 overall. They play at Riverland, in Austin, on Saturday.
